Re: GLOBAL WARMING? RELAX!
You are kidding, right? Do you actually believe '20% chance of widely
scattered showers in the evening.' equates to 3.8 inches of rain in five
hours in the morning and the afternoon? 20% chance of widely scattered
showers in the evening mean there is a 20% change there will be scattered
showers in the evening. LOL

Alas that show did nothing to prove, nor can they PROVE that although CO2
levels may higher than 150 years ago that it alone is the cause of the earth
temperature rising one degree over that time period, as they want us to
believe. That is the point I raised.
An interesting fact about computer weather models used today. If they look
BACK the do not show the last ice age or evn the mini ice age in Europe
during the sixteenth century .
Again I suggest, if the world is ACTUALLY warming we should know the actual
causes before we know if we can even try to 'do something.'
Ask yourself, would you plan a vacation based on a weather forecast for next
month?

levels may higher than 150 years ago that it alone is the cause of the earth
temperature rising one degree over that time period, as they want us to
believe. That is the point I raised.
An interesting fact about computer weather models used today. If they look
BACK the do not show the last ice age or evn the mini ice age in Europe
during the sixteenth century .
Again I suggest, if the world is ACTUALLY warming we should know the actual
causes before we know if we can even try to 'do something.'
Ask yourself, would you plan a vacation based on a weather forecast for next
month?

Sorry, didn't see the "evening" part there. You've got to admit though
that over the last 25 years the forecasting has gotten much better than it
was then.
